where are yoooooooooou?
3.30pm and my ibook is no where to be seen. *cry*
It appears my plans for a live BBQ cam may not happen. I phoned iinet to check up on my adsl application (today is the 8th working day and they said between 5-10 working days). The girl says she will check.... and tells me that the ETA of the line activation is today!!!! woot! Good news. Then she asks me to hold while she checks something else.. and comes back to tell me that in fact my line is activated already! woot! More good news. Of course Telstra are slack on informing iinet about the line activation, but that's ok. I'll forgive them this time.
So, I ask about the wireless modem/router thingy... and she tells me that now my line is activated the hardware will be sent out. Unfortunately it wont be sent until tomorrow morning and will not arrive in Brisbane til Wednesday.. oh wait! Its a public holiday so I wont get it til Thursday! DAMNIT!!!!!!
Even if my ibook arrives, I wont have the wireless modem.
*sniff*
However, the tiny glimpse of hope is thanks to Aaron, who has a dsl modem (not wireless) and a big ass cable. So IF the ibook arrives today or tomorrow, I may be able to run the cable out on to the balcony and over the side, and HOPEFULLY its long enough so I can plug in my laptop without having it dangle a metre from the ground or something.
Ahhhhh I'm in a foul mood, not helped by the fact that I'm looking forward to the arrival of my sweet baby. Which is yet to be named. Heather asked me what I would call it, and I said I couldn't call it Buffy since my ipod and work computer are both called that already. I jokingly suggested I should call it Angel or Willow and she emailed me back with this:
"Well willow could work.
It's a laptop, it's not a main machine....yes it's more flexible but it's not the main character, it's a sidekick. Sometimes more liked than the main character but still a peripheral.
Now Mac's and especially the laptops are known for their style and design. I have allways totally admired (been fixated and obsessed) by willows style and fashions. Not so business like, but extremely stylish.
I just put waaaay too much thought into that."
Oh she is such a dag! But it actually makes sense, so I am tentatively planning to call it Willow.
A piece of good news, (though its only good news because I'm selfish and needy) is Rach may make it to the BBQ now. Her evil bosses are... well, evil and took away her public holiday shift. I would boycott Subway in her honour, except I rarely eat it anyway. I dont know why, because its so darn tasty, especially with extra olives and pickles... mmmm pickles.

Oh I <3 you so!
I will most definitely be there and I will be your right hand (wo)man for the day.
Yay for hostessing!
Perhaps we need a coordinated outfit?

Willow is the ideal name. I mean, she was the one who always had her face in the screen of a mac researching the background of the latest daemon and such like.
As long as people don't imagine that you're referencing that piss-poor fantasy film about the little chap.

Willow? Never thought of him as stylish, but to each his own. http://www.lepconnie.com/pics/willow/opmdavis1.jpg

Why be good? What was the name of that evil goddess, the one who sipped Mamosas. Glory. On second thought, that name is cheesy. But still go bad. Villains are better.

RE: previous comment. Have you ever watched Buffy? If so you'd know that she does go bad. Okay not for ever but she does get rather nasty.
You could call your machine Spike but then it might have to be a bit of a nutter.

Yeah I know Willow went bad, but she was a boring baddie. I mean one who was bad and loving it. Besides, Blondie Bear could be a more fun name than Spike.

So... did "Willow" arrive yet? Perspiring minds want to know! The suspense is killing me! Okay, not really "killing" me, more like suspense is sneaking up behind me, poking me in the ribs and yelling "boo" at the top of it's lungs.
